> How did you stop motion animation turn out? If you could give it a grade, what would you give it out of 60 points? What did you learn from creating this video?

I would give it probably a 58 because its cool. its a drawn animation. the pictures look nice. I'm also adding music. There all the things required from the rubric. I learned nothing because this was mostly review for me. I have done these things before.

Monday November 11th

How far along are you on your stop motion animation? What did you do over the weekend to work on you stop motion animation? Do you have all your pictures today? Will you have all your pictures by the end of the hour? Give me a detailed updated.

I am not even close to being done. I came up with ideas for a video i want to do now. I have no pictures to upload. No i will not have all my pictures by the end of the hour. I have no pictures what so ever i do have an idea but it will not be finished by the end of the hour.

Friday November 8th

What are you planning on doing for your stop-motion animation video? What story are you going to tell? How will your video be fun and different? Who is taking your photos? When are you taking your photos?

I plan on making a drawn stop motion that should look cool if it plays out the way it does in my mind. I am not going to tell a story this is just to display fun art work in motion. It will be fun because its always cool to pictures move. I will probably be taking the photos. I will take my photos over the weekend.

Wednesday November 6th

 What story will your storyboard tell? Explain in detail.

My story will tel of a boy a bully and a friendly passer by. One day a boy was walking through the halls. When a bully sees him coming and decides to do something.  The bully trips him. The boy hits the ground. Then a walking students comes over to help him up.

 What photo editing tool(s) have you used so far on your 5 photos project? Do you like the tool? Is it easy to use? Hard to use? What's good about it? Whats bad about it? Give a detailed review of the tool.

I have used pixlr the entire time. I like this tool because you don't have to know anything about it to work it easily. You can figure things out so this tool isn't hard to use. The good points about it that it gives tools that can change the entire picture with just one click. Pixlr is a online web tool that edits photos very easily. i recommend this to everybody that needs to edit a photo. You can easily edit a photo by cropping or just adding a filter. I like pixlr as one of my favorite editing tools.

What are the pros and cons to photo editing? What are some examples of when photo editing is fun and appropriate? When can photo editing be inappropriate or too much?

 The pros of photo editing is that you can change a photo to look the way you want it to and it will more likely appeal to more people. Many pictures of models are taken and then edited to look better than they already look or how ever they looked. Many scanned in pictures that are later edited with some sort of coloring tool and depending on how good the artist is they usually come out in cool highly detailed pictures. Many and all pictures can be edited and using inappropriate pictures this is a bad time to edit. The other time is when you try to over edit a picture.

What is your favorite web tool that we have used in class so far this year? Why is it your favorite web tool? What do you like about it? How can you use it again in the future? My favorite online tool would probably be prezi. This my favorite because you can do several things with it. you can create presentations easily. you can make more than with just presentations. You can also make guides and other things with prezi and its fun. Thats why i have enjoyed prezi so far.

How was you're Weekend?

My weekend was fairly normal. I decided to draw after two months of nothing. I mostly sat around and watched T.V. I also didn't move for five hours watching YouTube videos. The extra sleep was wonderful just like every week. I went to church but it wasn't very fun. I didn't have to camera work so that was nice. Overall my week was like any other but it was a nice weekend.

Thursday October 17

What makes a presentation memorable? What makes a presentation stand out and not boring? How are you going to make your presentation better than anyone else? How will you make it unique? Explain.

Most people remember something better, if it was interesting. The only way to make it stand out is you're choice  there is no specific way to make a presentation stand. I do not know how to make mine stand out because i don't like presentations. This is going to be in the shot in the dark because I've never tried to make my presentations interesting; I have always stuck with just give the information and add pictures because they were required . I wonder how this will all work out?

Tuesday October 15

 What did you learn from the Ted Talk yesterday? Did you find it interesting or accurate? Explain.

I learned that humans crave for attention. We will go to machines for comfort. I found that a lot of this information was accurate because we see it in real life all the time. That depending on how we feel will affect what we type on a text. In this age we will soon turn to machines to have conversations with how ever i don't think this very true because many people still have normal conversations with each other. A lot of this or what she talked about wasn't really that interesting because its more like the people she studied are like that but not everybody is.

What do you love about the "digital age" that we currently live in? What do you dislike about it? What are positives ways you use technology in your life? What are some things that come along with technology that you don't like? Explain.

What i love the digital age is some of the online networks that they have made but not all of them. One of my favorite is YouTube because whenever i need a laugh or i need to know something its right there. Many websites have been put on that if you need to know anything its probably on the internet. But however there are many bad social network that has corrupted the minds of the young, one of those networks are Facebook yes you find your friends and chat and post pictures however; it has given the liberty to put down others and think they can do whatever then post pictures about it. Many social networking sites i think they have made a lot of young teens dumber than they were. Again there many people who are still considerate online but most of it has been taken over by people just to put down others.

Pollution Infographic

Tuesday October 8th

 Tell me about your Homecoming weekend (whether you went to the activities or not!). Tell me about what you did over the weekend.

On homecoming weekend i did absolutely nothing. Over the weekend all i did was worked out for an hour. I also drew for a while, and forgetting to save my work on the computer. Then i watched a lot of YouTube videos both days. I tried camera work for my church and that was fun. Then the rest of the time all i did was play video games because i had nothing better to do. I had a lot of food to eat which was delicious  I also got to sleep in one day that was very satisfying. Thats practically my weekend.

Wednesday October 2

What do you know about infographics?

Infographics are one sheet/poster that tells people about one specific thing and how they affect or all the thing related to it. For example if i have a infograph about water levels and what would happen if the world flooded. I would put the levels of the lowest cities that would be flooded first. Infographics are also used for advertisement. They can show why there better that the leading brand. Inforgraphics are really just to tell people about one thing and what they do or effect.

Most students view siting work as 'a pain in the butt'. How do you feel about it? Is it necessary? When is it appropriate to cite work? What's the importance of it? Well i think most students just don't want to work in the first place. I agree with other kids and this statement that sitting work is a pain in the but. However it is necessary for our education  Our education is what will get us through in life, like getting a good job in the future. Its important to cite work when you get it from someone website especially if you do it without there permission. This shows that it is not your background knowledge and you got from somebody who did.
